点评:When working hard trip to Kawai. We decided to do more than one luau. The Smith family luau seem to be a popular one so we went ahead and booked that along with the Ahi Lele Fire Show ( which we actually preferred.)
Last night we attended the Smith Family Luau. Since we had both attended luaus on other islands we knew what to expect. Smith family is your basic luau with music and good food. The property is actually a botanical garden and it is stunning. When you enter, they take a picture with some of the dancers and then you board a tram that take you around the park with a narration explains the different plants and interesting things about the culture. After the tram ride, you are given time to roam the grounds on your own to take pictures. There are roosters and peacocks that run the grounds and you can purchase feed to feed them on your own.
The Imu ceremony is interesting and they explain how the pig is cooked in a pit. You watch as it is brought out and are given the opportunity for more photos.
From there, you are guidance into the large coveted dining area. There are six food lines and so even though there are a lot of people in this area, the serving lines go very quickly. There’s a selection of different meats and side dishes, and a table with lots of fresh fruit and coconut cake for dessert. There are also free drinks and although they aren’t very strong, they are free.
After dinner, you head to the amphitheater where the show is held. We found the dancers to be adequate, not great, but OK. We’ve certainly seen more skilled dancers with other luaus.

昨晚我们参加了史密斯家族的宴会。因为我们之前在其他岛屿也参加过类似的宴会,所以知道会是什么样子。史密斯家族的宴会就是典型的夏威夷传统宴会,有音乐和美食。宴会场地实际上是一个植物园,景色非常优美。进入宴会厅后,工作人员会安排你和一些舞者合影,然后带你乘坐电车环游园区,沿途会有讲解员介绍不同的植物和有趣的夏威夷文化。电车游览结束后,你可以自由活动,在园区内拍照。园区里有公鸡和孔雀,你可以购买饲料喂它们。
伊姆仪式很有意思,工作人员会讲解猪是如何在坑里烤制的。你可以观看烤猪被抬出来,并有机会拍照留念。
从那里,您将被引导至宽敞的用餐区。这里设有六条取餐线,因此即使人很多,取餐速度也很快。餐点种类丰富,包括各种肉类和配菜,还有一张摆满新鲜水果和椰子蛋糕的桌子作为甜点。此外,还有免费饮品,虽然酒精度不高,但毕竟是免费的。
晚餐后,您将前往露天剧场观看表演。我们觉得舞者水平一般,不算出色,但也还可以。我们在其他宴会上见过更技艺精湛的舞者。
